Egerton Road, Cambridge

Egerton Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in an established residential part of east Cambridge, with a particularly useful amount of outside space and a detached garage. Built in the post-war period, it offers straightforward, well-proportioned accommodation with the scope for a new owner to make changes gradually rather than having to work around an overly prescriptive interior.

The ground floor is centred around a good-sized sitting/dining room, with windows to more than one aspect bringing natural light into the space. The separate kitchen has a practical arrangement of fitted storage and work surfaces, with a door directly onto the rear garden, while a ground-floor WC is a useful addition for day-to-day family life. Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a naturally lit landing, together with the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is notably generous, while the smaller rooms give useful flexibility for children, guests or working from home. Built-in storage in the bedrooms and landing also helps keep the main rooms uncluttered.

Outside space is one of the more convincing reasons to consider the house. There is a fenced front garden setting the property back from the road, while the rear garden is considerably more substantial, with areas of lawn and paving and room to approach the landscaping in different ways. A detached garage sits within the garden, providing useful storage alongside its more conventional purpose.

Please note that the property has been tenanted since these photographs were taken. The images therefore show the accommodation before the current tenancy and should be treated as a guide to the layout, proportions and presentation at that time.

Egerton Road is a short residential street linking Dudley Road and Egerton Close, within Cambridge's Abbey ward. The position works well for buyers who want access to the city without being in its busier central streets, while Cambridge North station is approximately 1 km from the postcode and there are bus stops around 200 metres away. Newmarket Road and the wider east Cambridge area put everyday shopping and services within practical reach, with cycling remaining a realistic option for many journeys across the city.
